My NFL Predictions

No money-backed guarantee, but here's how I see the 2009 season shaping out:

10 truths

1. Drew Brees is a compiler. He'll have great stats. The team will still be pretty bad when it counts most
   
2. Kurt Warner and Kerry Collins are still old, ex-Giants QBs. But they will lead their teams to the playoffs.
3. San Diego will win the AFC West, not because they're great, but because they get to play Kansas City and Oakland twice
   
4. Speaking of old guys, it doesn't matter what Brett Favre does; Adrian Peterson was just fine being AP without a QB and will be fine regardless of Favre
   
5. T.O. will be upset being in Buffalo before the bye week
6. Tampa Bay is a mess right now and will still be a mess when the season comes to a close
7. Don't believe what people may say: Denver will miss Jay Cutler
8. Someone will write an article saying that the NFC is better than the AFC. The playoff time will come and we'll realize that's not true
9. Some team will start 3-0, get a lot of press for being much-improved, and then go something like 4-9 to end the season. Trust me, it will happen
10. An injury will happen this week(end) to ensure that someone's fantasy football hopes are done by Monday.

One lie: No one from the NFL will get arrested this season
